As one of Australia’s first super funds, our story started with a small pension fund, the 1922 Scheme. Fast forward 100 years to today, CSC is now recognised as a global leader in best-practice governance and innovation. We manage 11 government super funds, and over 680,000 Australians trust us to look after $56.7 billion of their retirement savings.
At CSC, our diverse workforce of talented people unite to guide our customers to reach their retirement dreams. Our work makes a real difference to customers’ lives. Super is personal, and so is our approach to one another. We are committed to ensuring people at CSC thrive. We create opportunities and nurture our people’s careers, so they lead meaningful and balanced work lives.
CSC in our current iteration was established in 2011 as a corporate Commonwealth entity. We operate with a separate legal status and function in a corporate framework as a commercial entity—therefore, working at CSC is not a government role.
